Re: [Geoserver-devel] GeoServer and OSGEO

[Simone G. <sim...@ge...>]

Ciao Andrea,
I think you already know my position, due to previous discussions we had.

In the past I have been more than once in the situation where
institutional grants where (unofficially) refused or given to other
projects since GeoServer was seen (talking from a EU perspective here)
as an "American" project. I believe that joining osgeo would remove
this obstacle and make things easier.

Conclusions is that  I am strongly +1.

Ciao,
Simone.
